SmartBits 600 Chassis
The SmartBits 600 chassis (see Figure 1-1) is a portable chassis that has been designed to
combine high port density, portability, compact design, and high-performance in a single
system. It is compatible with the SmartBits 600B/6000B/6000C chassis and can be
synchronized to other chassis in an expansion connection to provide higher port density.

When using SmartMetrics/TeraMetrics XD modules in a SmartBits 600 chassis, it is
important you understand the restrictions listed in Table 1-1 on page 12. An example of a
SmartBits 600 housing a 4-port SmartMetrics/TeraMetrics XD module is shown in
Figure 1-2.

Table 1-1 on page 12 describes the maximum number of ports and modules that can be
used per chassis.
SmartBits 600B Chassis
The SmartBits 600B chassis (see Figure 1-3) is a portable ultra high-density network
performance analysis chassis that has been designed to combine high port density,
portability, compact design, and high-performance in a single system. It is compatible
with the SmartBits 600/6000B/6000C chassis and can be synchronized with other chassis
in an expansion connection to provide higher port density.
